I went to the first rehearsal for my university's Improv team. I love improv, it's so fun. And apparently most improv teams are mostly male. I totally passed, and was treated like a guy the entire time. One scene we did a tableau and one guy did something a little raunchy directed at me that he probably wouldn't have done if he thought I was a girl.
The thing is, at one point we were in pairs and I ended up on the floor while another guy pretended to give me CPR. So of course, his hands were on my chest, where my boobs are flattened by the binder. It definitely doesn't feel like your average male chest. I think at best, he might have thought he was feeling moobs under an undershirt, and I am on the heavier end of average so it's possible. I don't think most people would instantly think trans guy, but I don't know.
He didn't react, he didn't pull his hands away I don't think. I can't remember how I reacted, either, but I don't think there was any weirdness.
What do you guys think? He had to have felt something, but what do you think he thought it was?
people have felt my chest (mostly girls) but they dont think anything off it. im pretty skinny the ones i wasnt out to didnt think anything off it.
Unless he had knowingly pressed against the chest of someone wearing a binder before, I find it highly unlikely that he would have been able to tell. It's been my experience that unless someone is somewhat closely associated with the trans community, they will have no idea what a binder is. My SO's binder is pretty firm, and had I not known about them, I would not have guessed there were boobs under there.
Yeah, there's a lot to consider, but from the way you made it sound, he probably was none the wiser. I mean, if you're on the heavier side, it could easily just seem like padding/moobs.
And even if it weren't the case, depends on how hard you bind. I was pretty endowed in a previous life and before I got them ripped off, I bound pretty ->-bleeped-<-ing hard. I swear my chest felt like iron. And if it was that hard, again, I doubt anyone would notice.
Most non-trans people don't even know what a binder is or that trans guys exist, so I think it's all good.
Unless he made a noticable reaction to it,
Or starts treating you funny afterwards, I wouldn't worry about it much.
Though it does make me wonder what was going through his head if he did notice something strange. I doubt that most people would think, "OMG! A transguy! The missing link!"
I don't know how much you have to bind. But I would assume he didn't notice or care. I wouldn't worry about it, nothing you can do now.
I'd say no considering the lack of reaction.
I had someone just touch my back and they knew. They screamed out "OMG YOU'RE WEARING ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT SQUASH YOUR BOOBS"
I worry the same thing cause where I work, people touch your back alot to let you know they're behind you. Busy kitchen atmosphere. No one has said anything. If they ask I just say it's an undershirt or a back brace...I do have scoliosis so I don't feel AS bad about saying it...cause for all they know, I could be wearign a backbrace
